Mailroom Monday: April 4, 2011

This week 12,408 cards were mailed out - at a cost of $477.15! This kind of total is becoming more and more regular for our shippers as they go to the post office - we have soooooo many cards going out! Especially right now, we're sealing up our boxes with the very last of the Mother's Day cards.....and thinking about just HOW many happy Moms across America we're creating with all of these lovely cards! Thank you to everyone who makes the cards - and donates the shipping money! This is truly a labor of love from all across America....

Another item of note: In March 2010, we shipped 26,140 cards. In March 2011? 62,266!!!!!That's crazeeeeee! Part of that could be getting a lot of the Mom cards out in March, whereas last year we did a lot of shipping the first week of April. But in anyone's world - that's nutty amounts of cards! :)
